A policy set is a predefined collection of properties applied to an activity (lesson and/or assignment) that controls how a student is able to complete and review their attempt at that activity. Once created, these can be modified over time to ensure your course is tailored to your desired teaching methods.
This article will cover how to edit a policy set. To create a new policy set, review Creating a Policy Set in SI Lab Portal.
The default policy sets are in place to offer the best experience for students and instructors and should not be edited. If you want to customize our default policy sets, please start by creating your own using the Creating a Policy Set in SI Lab Portal article linked above.
1. From the Class Homepage, select the "Content Repository."
2. Select "Policy Sets" under the Current Class tab, then select the policy set of interest.
3. Select Edit in the policy set preview panel.
4. Modify the policy set as needed.
Modify any necessary components of the policy set. For more information on a particular policy option, see the Overview of SI Lab Portal Lesson Policy Options.
5. Select save to confirm your changes.
6. If the policy set being edited is already applied to an activity, confirm that you wish the policy set to be applied.
Upon selecting confirm, your new policy set will be saved and applied to all lessons within your existing course and any child courses.
If the policy set being edited is applied to an activity with existing student attempts (complete or in progress), you have the option to update these existing attempts by selecting the "Update Existing Attempts" check box and then selecting confirm. All policy edits will be updated EXCEPT for the Time Limit.
